My neighbor was awesome, always willing to mow someone else's lawn or help with unloading groceries for some of our seasoned citizens down the street. He always waved and never seemed to frown. What a fantastic person. No one ever spoke ill of him.

Of course, we were shocked when he got arrested for stealing money from his company.

I sure hope he gets a jury where it's more important to hear about how nice he was rather than from forensic accountants showing how he stole hundreds of thousands of dollars. #LindsayClancyJurors

This is part of what I was referring to in my previous tweet.

I'm pretty famously pro-Indian immigrant (and I take a lot of heat for it from my rightwing followers), but the also-quite-famous arrogance of the Female Indian Liberal of the Anglosphere* never fails to astonish.

A comparatively recent arrival (she's lived in Texas about a decade) telling white Texans who can trace their ancestry in (and emotional connection) to the state going back generations to leave their home, and then describing a very non-diverse group of Indian students as "diverse" — by which she of course means "non-white" — is about par for the course.

* Other examples of insufferable Female Indian Liberals of the Anglosphere might include Sonalee Rashatwar, Pramila Jayapal, Saira Rao, Angela Saini, Sunny Singh, Kshama Sawant, Sonia Gupta, Priyamvadal Gopal, Kalwant Bhopal, Reshmi Dutt-Ballerstadt, Aruna Khilanani, Harsha Walia, Vandana Shiva, andMary Rambaran-Olm.

This post perfectly encapsulates what it’s like being an Indian person in America. First they say you don’t belong because you can’t assimilate. So you buy the jersey, go to the game, and root harder than anyone, and then they say you gotta go because you’re replacing them.

A lot of people are shocked to discover that whites are only 25% of the in-state undergrad students at the University of Texas, outnumbered by Hispanics, who perform much worse than whites on the SAT. The reason for this is what I would call a "deformative action" admissions approach (described below).

The second graph shows how far the fall-off would be for the Hispanic student share if the sole admissions criterion was actual tested cognitive ability.

And you can also see how Asians (only 6% of the population of Texas) would then be the dominant group on campus if measured intelligence were the only admissions criterion.

(And, yes, the SAT is still mostly a test of general intelligence, although less so than it was a few decades ago.)

[Swann Marcus @SwannMarcus89]

I shit in true crime a lot but I learned today that a huge percentage of the True Crime community thinks Richard fucking Allen of the Delphi murders is innocent and are trying to get him released

Nobody has ever been guiltier than Richard Allen and a bunch of true crime podcasters literally colluded with his defense team to muddy the waters to try and get him released after he sexually assaulted and murdered two teenage girls. We need a total shut down of true crime until we can figure out what the hell is going on

[Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC]

Ok, fine. I’ll weigh in.

1. The Equal Time statute doesn’t apply to GameDay for several reasons.

For one, when it passed the statute, Congress applied it to broadcast tv stations—not cable programs like GameDay.

For another, Congress stated that the statute only applies to legally qualified candidates. The Senator is not one.

2. The Equal Time statute does not prohibit anyone from interviewing anyone on broadcast tv. It is about more speech, not less. Congress wanted to ensure that voters would decide elections, not media gatekeepers picking winners and losers by providing preferential airtime to some candidates and not others.

Indeed, when the statute applies, it simply requires broadcast stations to offer comparable time and placement. And comparable does not necessarily mean an interview by the same person on the same program either.

3. This ties back to Talarico. He’s just running the same hoax he did a few months ago on Colbert for the purpose of getting clicks and donations—he’s banking on people not understanding the statute or operating as partisan lemmings.

4. More broadly, though, at least some people appear to take issue with a cable program choosing to interview one government official and not others. To the extent they’re pushing for greater balance in media, that might be a good thing.

But to bring this back to the law, cable shows are different than broadcast programs.

Broadcasters are unique. The FCC gave them free licenses worth many billions of dollars to use a public resource (spectrum). They are given a government sanctioned monopoly on their broadcast frequencies, too. If anyone else wants to use that same public resource (spectrum) for the purpose of expressing their own views, the government will not let them—it will eject anyone else that tries to use a broadcaster’s licensed spectrum.

This means that Americans are subsidizing the distribution of broadcast programs over a public resource to the tune of many billions of dollars. We don’t do that with cable or anything else.

In exchange for that free and exclusive right to use spectrum, broadcasters made a deal with the American people. They agreed to operate, not in their own narrow interests, but in the public interest. There are various rules and policies that they must follow. This sets them apart from newspapers and cable shows and podcasts.

But some broadcasters want to break their deal with the American people. They want to keep their free access to billions of dollars worth of spectrum, of course. They are less eager these days to abide by their public interest obligations.

Yet the Supreme Court has already ruled that holding broadcasters to their public interest obligations is not censorship or any sort of 1A violation.

And Congress has charged the FCC with ensuring that broadcasters meet those public interest obligations, as required by their licenses. The agency should do so.

In 1996, the Alien Terrorist Removal Court was created to remove enemy foreigners who may not be removed the normal way. It has never been used before, not even after 9/11, until now.

Trump's DOJ has successfully used the ATRC for the first time, deporting an islamic terrorist.

On September 11, 2001, the US military arsenal contained more than 200 strategic bombers, 2,100 fighter jets, 10,500 nuclear warheads, and 550 ICBMs. We could have flattened all of Afghanistan and Pakistan with 1% of our firepower. A rounding error.

Any other great civilization in human history, given the same wealth of military resources, would not have hesitated to do so. Caesar would have completed it before sundown; Sulla would have laughed you out of the Roman Forum (or worse) for even broaching the idea of restraint.

But not the United States. Despite the horrific barbarism we had suffered on our shores, we—more than any great power heretofore in mankind’s history—made every effort to avoid harming civilians and minimize collateral damage. Even when it was to the detriment to our own martial efficacy; even when it meant prioritizing the lives of Afghan locals over American troops.

Then, we did something even more unprecedented: We spent 20 years rebuilding the country that had housed the monsters who murdered our own people. Two decades of grueling deployments for hundreds of thousands of our troops, at an unfathomable cost of blood and treasure. More than 2,000 precious lives lost; $2 trillion of taxpayer funds sent to the most backward country on the planet, an investment never to pay us any return.

America is the greatest country on earth, and the US military is the most morally righteous fighting force ever to march the globe. Keep the aftermath of 9/11 in mind any time someone tells you otherwise.
